Sowing Grass and Clover Seeds.

Grass and clover seeds sown IN spring
are best sown carly-before the land should
be stirred. 1t is all old and excellent rule
to SOW clover seed on the last snow. But
the last snow cannot be foretold, and there
is such thing as sowing clover seeds to
early. We have noticed several instances
of this. II the weather is warm and moist,
as it is when a snow Is melted in the spring,
the clover seed will germinate readily; and
il "cold wave" follows the thaw, and
catches the seed swell almost to the
terminating point, much Of it will be fatally
injured. However, this is an exceptional
combination Of conditions. AS a general
rule, grass or clover seed sown in early
spring, or even in winter, several weeks be-
fore the weather is warm enough for ger
mination and lying exposed on the surface
of the ground, will not be materially injured.
The fatality will not be so great as among
plants weakly in the fall. If clover seed Is
to be sown in the spring on ground occupied
~ fall grain. and which is quite dry and
solid, pass over the field with roller; this
will press the seed down into the earth
enough for it to root, and will also benefit
the grain, pressing back those roots which
nave been thrown above the surface by the
rost. But this can be done only when the
ground is dry, for If it is at all muddy the
grain will be injured. If the ground is to,
harl for the seeds to gcrminate, but is not
occupied by crop, first pass over it with &
sharp harrow, then SOW the seed, and then
Use the roller. On land well drained arti-
IciallY or naturally, and which is quite
fertile, sowing grass seed may be deferred
Until the ground can be prepared in the
spring

AT HARRIS THEATER.

AT HARRIS THKATER
Harris Theater was thronged last evening by a
large audience TO listen to a lecture by Bishop
keane, OF Richmond, on the 'GOlden Jubilee OF
Pope Leo Kill" The lecture was given under the
auspices OF the st. vincent de Paul Society, and
the proceeds will be devoted to the relief OF
the poor Of the District, irrespective Of race or
religion. Among those seated on the platform
were Judge Merrick, and Fathers Chapelle and
Mackfn- The bishop, In q sketch OF the career
Of the pope, spoke Of the responsibilities which
rested upon him In one OF the most critical periods
Of human history. He said that Plus TX averted
dangers by the issue OF d0gmas, the immaculate
conception and papal infailibility, the latter re-
mindfng the world that amid the changes OF human
authority, the authority Of the Kingdom of Christ
upon earth should stand as firm and unchanged
as He who established It. The speaker said that
the day OF absolute governments was over, and
never again would nations laws be made by one
man, or q set OF men other than as the agents OF
the people for whose welfare alone laws should
be made. The church had no desire TO hinder or
hamper the state IN its legitimate sphere, nor
should the state desire to hinder the church in
her rghtful province. Government TO be success
ful must secure freedom OF religion by her hold
upon the affections OF the people. The pope per-
ceived the signs OF the new era and extended his
influence In behalf OF the down-trodden working
men OF Europe. He spoke OF the scope Of the
new Catholic University, and said that IL had the
approval Of the pope.

OILS, saturday, said he should not favor any reduc-
uon Oh the TAX on spirits. He might, however, be
willing TO repeal the tax on tobacco except cigars
and cigarettes. Mr.. voorhees, says he stands on
the democratic platform OF 1884, and thinks Presi-
dent Cleveland has not departed from it In re-
ducing taxation he would endeavor to protect the
LABOR interests from competition with cheaply-
paid competitors. In abiding to free trade the
senator said: "a great many people use the term
free trade without knowing caring what IT,
means Free trade means no tar1n tax; it means
the ABANDONMENT OF custom houses and resort TO
direct taxation OF states. Under such a system
indiana's proportion would be nine or ten millions
year. don't think anybody wants to try the
experiment In this or any other state"

4 PAPER on ByZzAKDs READ At THE MEETING SAT-
CRDAY NIGHT.

Mr. c. L Hopkins read a paper on the sense OF
Smell In Buzzards" before the Biological Society,
at Its meeting In the hall OF the Cosmos Club Sat
urday night Mr.. Hopkins said he had noticed
that buzzards never left their roosts on damp,
foggy mornings until the ground and shruboery
were dry. They would then move slowly across
ths wind until q scent was struck, when they
would work up the wind Till the carrton was
found. Sometimes they would drift down the
wind past their prey until they struck the scent,
which would be followed up finding the object OF
their search sometimes in the densest scrub. He
had on several occasions killed wild hogs In the
scrub, and after dressing them and taking what
meat he wished, would see twenty or more ouZ-
zar6s coming down into the wind A raZor-back
killed In the morning. IN scrub so dense that only
directly overhead could sky be seen, was found Dy
buzzards before night. At several times covered
offal had been detected by them. While plowing
a neld he killed a snake and turned IL under
furrow, yet the buzzards quickly found IL, though
they failed TO dig 1t out Other instances were re.
lated going TO prove that buZzerds md some OF
their food BY scent. In the discussion that fol-
lowed instances were cited that would tend 70
prove that buzzards did not always follow their
hosea
